Re: [libvirt-users] memoryStats question

virDomainMemoryStats() gets those stats, if qemu is new enough to provide them, and if the guest cooperates to provide them. Well I use the latest QEMU 2.0.0 I have the latest CentOS 6.5 installed on the guest and unfortunately I can't get more stats that I have. Which OS are you using in y

Re: [libvirt-users] memoryStats question

Actually, you should get more stats when using the virtio balloon driver in your guests. I use the balloon but I can't get more stats. I use python binding for libvirt and as far as I can see it calls virDomainMemoryStats exactly. ___ libvirt-users

Re: [libvirt-users] memoryStats question

Eric Blake In the case of the memory balloon device, libvirt CAN provide stats from the guest, because of the way the balloon device works. But if you aren't using a balloon, or if the guest is not cooperative, this won't work. Better would be a guest-agent command for

[libvirt-users] getting CPU usage of VMs through libvirt

Greetings everyone,        I just want to ask if it is possible to get the CPU usage of the VMs in KVM through libvirt? I mean, how does the virt-manager produce the graph it displays? Is there a way get this graph? But instead of the graph itself, I just need to get it in percentage(%) form.
